Gonghexin Road Subdistrict
Print Edition
IN a neighborhood in Jing’an, abandoned bed frames have been deployed to form a barrier to restrict access to the community in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.
The shabby bungalows and shelters at Lane 155 and 157 along Tanjiaqiao Road were built in the late 1950s.
As the only “open” neighborhood in Gonghexin Road Subdistrict, it has no gates or security guards. The narrow alleyways leading to the main roads are open for people, bikes and mopeds to pass through.
Amid the epidemic period, it’s of vital importance to keep a close eye on neighborhood entrances. How to do that?
Cui Ping, Party secretary of the Tanjiaqiao neighborhood, came up with the idea of using abandoned bed frames to set up barricades.
Residents responded to her call. Within two days, Cui has amassed more than 20 bed bases.
On February 5, neighborhood officials and kind-hearted people worked together to set up barricades, blocking nine accesses in a day.
Two accesses were kept open for people and vehicles to pass through. How to safeguard these accesses around the clock?
Neighborhood officials erected tents at the two entrances as temporary security guard kiosks. There, body temperatures and registration of people passing through are taken.
To provide shelter for officials at nighttime, local resident Feng Suzhen, who lives very close to one of the entrances, partitioned her cramped living quarters. It has greatly affected her life but she doesn’t care.
